The preceding steps instruct you to set SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to zero so that the sizes of the SGA and instance PGA are tuned up and down as required, without restrictions. You can omit the statements that set these parameter values to zero and leave either or both of the values as positive numbers. In this case, the values act as minimum values for the sizes of the SGA or instance PGA.


Thanks Mike.It says my current setting ,Oracle would use as min value .


I have another quest.Will Oracle lock entire memory_max_target value specified ?
Eg :memory_max_target has value 20GB, and memory_target has value 15GB . Oracle still hold 20GB ? Thanks

It depends on your platform and OS; on most of them, yes.

Thanks.

Another quest.

i have set ONLY memory_target to 4GB and when i started the instance i could see

memory_target =4GB
memory_max_size=4GB (this is ok)
sga_target=0 (this is ok)
sga_max_size=4GB ?????


sga_max_size was automaticaly set to 4GB.
Is it ok ? it will hold whole memory for SGA alone ? PGA alloc will face any issues ?

i couldnt find this info in oracle doc. Pls can anyone advice ?

This is the expected behaviour.
See documentation MEMORY_TARGET

Note:

The default value of SGA_MAX_SIZE depends on the values of MEMORY_TARGET and MEMORY_MAX_TARGET.



it says only that Smile i want to know if SGA_MAX_SIZE=MEMORY_TARGET=MEMORY_MAX_TARGET is a problem ? or hw it works (considering pga)

MAX value is different from CURRENT value.
MAX does not mean that CURRENT will be some day equal to MAX, just that CURRENT will never exceed MAX.

ok , so SGA_MAX_SIZE having some high value doesnt mean oracle will HOLD that much memory (reserved) for SGA alone. Thanks
